Welcome to a new issue of HealthToday, which is here to put a little
spring in your step this season. We're celebrating the time of growth,
with tips to keep your home clean and allergen-free, to help you
dodge seasonal health woes and to keep your children growing
strong all year.
At Centegra Health System, we are committed to helping people
reach their health goals, whether that means attaining a higher level
of athletic training, reducing or eliminating chronic pain, or getting
back to daily life after a major health event. I trust you'll see that
commitment in the inspiring stories of explorer and photographer
Weg Thomas, world-class gymnast Josh Coles and stroke survivor
Mary Uccello. At Centegra, we're proud to be part of stories like
these every day. As we continue to grow to meet the needs of
McHenry, Lake and Kane counties, we look forward to helping even more
patients access our services within their neighborhoods. As always, this season
is packed with classes and events to help you make the most of spring, so don't
miss out on our offerings throughout the region.
Thank you for growing with us, and I hope this issue of HealthToday helps you
and your family continue to grow healthier and happier. Enjoy the read!
Sincerely,
Michael S. Eesley
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
